It is a member of the lanthanide family of elements and is often found in minerals such as gadolinite and euxenite. Terbium has a number of unique physical and chemical properties, including:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Terbium is one of the most reactive of the lanthanide metals. It reacts readily with both oxygen and water, forming a layer of oxide that protects the underlying metal.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Terbium has a relatively low melting point (824 \u02daC) and a high boiling point (3,340 \u02daC).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Terbium is a good conductor of heat and electricity.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Terbium is malleable and ductile, meaning it can be easily shaped and stretched.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Terbium has a very low density (5.2 g\/cm3) and is therefore not very heavy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Terbium is a poor conductor of sound.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses_of_Terbium\"><\/span>Uses of Terbium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Terbium is a rare earth metal that is used in a variety of applications. One common use is in fluorescent lighting. Terbium is used to coat the inside of fluorescent light bulbs in order to increase the bulb&#8217;s life span. It also helps to improve the quality of the light that is emitted. Another use for terbium is in lasers. Terbium is used in solid-state lasers, which are used in a variety of applications, including surgery and laser printing. Terbium is also used in the production of magnets. Magnets made from terbium are often used in medical equipment and in the aerospace industry.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Harmful_Effects_of_Terbium\"><\/span>Harmful Effects of Terbium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The harmful effects of terbium are largely unknown, as this element has only recently been discovered.
